cpap pillow nasal mirage swift

I have had excellent luck with the Resmed Mirage Quattro mask. It has a knob at the top of the mask that adjusts the pressure against the forehead and nose. I wake-up without redness or cuts on the nose. It is a full face mask which is a concern if you're using the nasal CPAP. I was getting redness and cuts when I first started using CPAP but it turns out that my mask was too small. Once I went to a large Mirage Quattro, the bleeding stopped.

I use the mirage quattro full face. I heard that nasal pillows are good but some say that you can't use it with asv or higher pressures? feel free to message me!

I'm using a full face mask with my cpap machine and can't keep it on for more than 1 hour a night. Does anyone know how to keep the mask on all night and get a full night of therapy?

It takes a while to find a mask or nasal pillows that work for you. You just have to keep trying. I made several appointlements with my Durable Medical Equipment provider to go there, and try on a couple of masks before selecting one and trying it. After 8 years, I'm about to start my third nasal pillow, the Philips DreamWear. With this one, I was a 5 month beta tester some time ago, so I have prior experience using it.

I use a CPAP machine, with a nasal mask setting is 15. I do believe it makes me sleep better. However it causes serious gas especially in the morning. I know others have reported this problem but have yet to see a good answer.

Did you try the nasal pillow or nasal cannula? The nasal pillow goes over your entire nose and the cannula goes right up into your nostrils.

I found out the nasal pillow head gear is the most manageable for me. My doc was very understanding. He had me ease into use and initially gave me some sleeping pills to help me feel more comfortable. My husband started using a CPAP device about two months ago. He loves to sleep on this stomach with his head buried in a pillow. He can't tolerate any head gear except a full nasal mask! (We don't agree on much. lol) We both love the humidity though JB.

I was diagnosed with OSA about 2 years. For all this time I am struggling with the cpap machine/mask. I got over the embarrsement/discomfort but still having problems that make me not use it. I have a good machine with humidfyer. But I get so bone dry in the mouth-tongue that it wakes me up.(no moisture to even swallow) I have tried different things but guess I am still mouth breathing with mask on. I have a full faced Mirage Quattro mask.

Hey chevy man. I've seen you around here for a long time. How about more details on the elevated pulse. How fast is it? and When does it occur? I too wear CPAP. I've used it for the last 6 years now, and it no doubt has saved me from an early, painful demise as I had very severe obstructive sleep apnea. Prior ro getting on it, I had been waking up with a pounding pulse in the middle of the night. It wasn't SVT (which I had), but an elevated and pounding pulse.

I just started using my CPAP with a swift nasal mask 3 weeks ago and you just described my systems to a tee. I am miserable. I have been taking Sudafed when I wake up and it has helped but I can't do this forever. There must be a simple solution to this problem that so many users are experiencing...

Just wanted to add that my nurse practioner that works with my MS Dr. is going to get me into see one of the pulmonoligists at UCSF ..this makes me happy. There are not many of them around, at least good ones.

t know which brand you used. I wear the ResMed Mirage Swift II. The headgear comes with an often overlooked key component. It's a small piece of Velcro which is used to secure the headgear's hose to the side of the headband This stabilizes the nasal pillows and prevents them from being leveraged off your face when you move about. I love mine as it allows the headbands to be loosely fastened, so the pillows are just resting on your face.

I am not sleeping as I keep taking off the CPAP to blow my nose or to cough. Could I be allergic to the CPAP, or the dirt or germs in the tubing, or to the air that is sucked in thru the CPAP? No matter how good I feel in the day.....I get worse at night? Help Please.

I changed my pillow protector and I thought my problem was solved but I still wake up with a stuffy nose. Could it be my sleep apnea machine? Or something else? I'm fine once I'm awake and I go downstairs.

Not sure I’ll be much help as I use the nasal pillow apparatus. I’m pretty intolerant of my face being covered but I never found a mask that fit my facial dimensions anyway. It seems incompatibility is a two way street with masks and me. I think nasal breathing is necessary for CPAP to work no matter what head gear you have. Otherwise the air being forced into the nose will go straight back out the mouth - that’s the path of least resistance. Air blown over any surface will cool and dry it.

I just got a call from my ENT who ordered a sleep study for me a couple weeks ago. She said that I need to do another sleep study and be put on CPAP as my results showed medically significant apnea. Ah ha, no wonder I am so tired all the time. I was hopeful that this time the apnea would still be in the mild range and i could avoid having to go to CPAP. I agreed with the doctor to try the CPAP and see if it will help.

ve tried to use CPAP for more than a year with no success, using full mask, nasal mask or nasal pillows with chin strap. They either keep me from falling asleep, or I can't get them easily reseated without leaks if I have to get out of bed during the night. I also have trouble keeping the headgear/chin strap in place even when it's correctly adjusted; it slips off my head. I have to over-tighten it; not only uncomfortable, but it irritates my skin. Have you tried CPAP Pro?

Hi try not to worry about CPAP i was the same as you claustrophobic i would get the nasal mask that way to start with get to use CPAP in the daytime to get used to it on face so night time is easy for you. All so what helped me was to have the RAMP low that makes it easy to breath also with the nasal mask you can sleep on your side.......You can ask me anytime just leave me a note i shall get back to you asap...Take Care....

The tech only brought the nose mask and a nasal pad setup with no humidifier. I tried the nasal pad and it feels like a knife going in my nose.I tried nose gel and spray. Wow, I am not a baby but this hurt. I am calling tomorrow (Monday) to let them know that, first off, I too am a mouth breather, and also need a humidifier. Thank God this first machine and mask is a test of sorts for month. They were worried about this equipment costing so much without a prescription plan.
